SolarisFloat's Proteus solar panel array not only floats on water, but slowly turns to track the sun across the sky. By Andrew Paul Published Nov 18, 2022 4:00 PM EST Get the Popular Science daily ...

In a world filled with countless rectangular solar panels, Smartflower is a rare, novel solar product. Part energy system and part industrial art installation, it's essentially a huge flower ...

In the search to find space for large solar arrays, many countries are looking to floating systems. Now the Netherlands is taking this one step further, with water-based arrays that follow the Sun. On ...

Solar cells capture up to 40 percent more energy when they can track the sun across the sky, but conventional, motorized trackers are too heavy and bulky for pitched rooftops and vehicle surfaces.

Solar panels are often installed on rooftops at a fixed angle. Unfortunately, this prevents them from capturing optimal energy from the sun at certain times of the day. Although sun-tracking solar ...

Unlike current models, sun tracking solar panels inspired by kirigami could be installed on a typical rooftop. Image credit: Gray Watson Science and art are sometimes seen as two very different worlds ...

The concepts of both solar panels that track the sun and double-sided solar panel arrays have existed independently before now, but researchers have looked at the benefits of combining them for the ...

Double-sided solar panels that tilt based on the sun’s position could boost the amount of energy collected. The two approaches existed independently before, but researchers have now looked at the ...
